China Desk

The WTS China Desk is a network of tax and finance experts focusing on cross-border business activities between China, Germany and other international markets. We support Chinese and multinational companies in all tax and financial matters – both in relation to Chinese companies' overseas activities and to the inbound business of German and multinational companies in China. 

China is a key trading and investment partner for many companies in sectors such as automotive manufacturing, mechanical and plant engineering, infrastructure and energy. In recent years, more and more Chinese companies have ventured into international markets, investing abroad, setting up production facilities and developing comprehensive international business activities. During these cross-border activities, these companies often face challenges such as cultural differences, complex regulatory frameworks and limited familiarity with the tax regulations of the respective host country. 

The WTS China Desk team supports companies in both directions: we advise Chinese companies on their business activities in Germany and worldwide, as well as German companies on their investments and activities in China. Our expertise lies in facilitating cross-cultural communication and in ensuring compliant, efficient and sustainable structuring of your international tax and financial processes through professional and practice-oriented advice.
